About MkDocs

MkDocs turns a folder of Markdown files and a single YAML configuration into a static documentation site, with a live-reloading development server while you write. Themes, notably Material for MkDocs, add navigation, search and rich components without touching the source files.

Strengths

  • One YAML file and a folder of Markdown produce a complete site
  • Built-in live-reload server while writing

Limitations

  • Output is static, so search and versioning depend on the theme and plugins
